I'm not sure who's new and who's not on that list - I'm losing track! Quite a lot of acts being shared with Sziget though. If we are to share more, I'd like Bicep (I think most of us would), Underworld, Turnstile, boygenius, Bombay Bicycle Club. But they might all have been in the first announcement!

Quick maths, announced so far: 10 Aug - 3 main stage acts, 5 Freedome acts 11 Aug - 3 main stage acts, 3 Freedome acts 12 Aug - 3 main stage acts, 5 Freedome acts 13 Aug - 0 main stage acts, 4 Freedome acts 14 Aug - 0 main stage acts, 1 Freedome act 15 Aug - 1 main stage act, 3 Freedome acts

Nope, they've just been announced as a European Exclusive at All Points East.

I thought you'd been quiet of late. Congrats on the new job. Staying in the city so no need of a locker in camping, but nice offer.

Although some people disagree, I think we reached a near-consensus of the two crowns relating to Lorde. Did we ever reach a consensus on the lion graphic? M&S possibly, but anyone else?

They'd be a sub I guess?

I think we're all certain that the double crown refers to 'Royals' by Lorde as she's around and it's her most famous song. However, that's not to say that Stormzy won't be there as he's playing All Points East on 18 August.

Agreed, @Sziget2023_Leakstends to only post during the week, not at weekends. We only have five weekdays left until announcement. One a day would do nicely in that time......

Calling @Sziget2023_Leaks I think we need a couple of clues to steer us away from the troll rumours.....

Miley's new album comes out next Friday Sziget announces headliners four days later Just sayin'

We saw her at Latitude the same year and the same thing happened. I think she's great but found her incredibly dull live. I've never, in more than 30 years of gig-going, seen somewhere empty as fast when the main act was on. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that, by the end, 50% of the people watching at the start had left.

If they booked Billie Eilish because she was the most requested act from people who filled out the feedback form for Sziget, I wonder what position M&S were? 🤣 The more I think about it, I don't think it will be them. I can't see how any booker would choose them. It's a bit different for Mad Cool as they have soooo many headline slots to fill. I'm going with Tom Grennan for the lion clue, with a decent-sized rock act still to come. Happy for you to confirm I'm right @Sziget2023_Leaks😉

The Killers or Mumford and Sons - hhhmmmmm tough choice........

Where has that been announced?

Let's hope not. I assume they have lots more summer dates to announce but not sure where else in Europe they could play. Most festivals' headliners seem to have already been announced. I don't hate M&S, in fact I quite like a few tracks. I just think they'd be a massively underwhelming, tired bit of nothing booking.

Let's just hope it refers to this.......

Got a Vegas residency during Sziget. Yes, I did check as I'm desperately clutching at straws that it's not Mumford.....

Has this date been announced / confirmed somewhere?

If it IS Mumford, when they could (potentially) have gone for Blur or The Killers, then they better have one hell of an undercard that day.

Mumford and Sons just announced as Mad Cool headliner. That lion emoji now scares me.

Another UK festival in August. boygenius jumps out - they are playing festivals and Fred Again.. headlining too. A possibility for both at Sziget perhaps?

This is a nice little line-up. Takes place in Wales 17-20 August. I'm still holding out hope for Confidence Man as they're just hilariously brilliant and do, actually, now have some good, fun songs. Young Fathers are exceptional live too. And a good friend of mine can't stop raving about how good Warmduscher are live. And I'd take The Walkmen just to hear 'The Rat' live.

Your guess is as good as ours. However, I'll go with 9am on Tuesday 7th for no reason other than I think it'll be earlier in the week rather than later as Leaks has already started providing clues.

They'll be different acts. I don't think Leaks has ever repeated in the past. I agree with Lorde and Girl In Red. Both are doing festivals in Europe in August so seemed likely even before any clues were released. While some of the others would be great (Lizzo and Royal Blood) they either aren't in Europe at that time or the clues don't quite align. As a group, we've always guessed Leaks' clues correctly in the past so I'm confident Lorde and Girl In Red will be on the island this year.
